Benefits of technology

As a result of the two piece construction of the bracket, i.e. as a result of it being formed by two bracket parts, one of which is freely adjustable, tightening of the bracket does not produce unwanted bending at a single location but rather causes movement of the entire freely movable bracket part. This in turn enables the bracket to accommodate for a substantial tolerance between its size and the size of the post. In addition, the provision of a freely movable bracket part produces substantial surface area contact between it and the post upon tightening of the bracket.

Problems solved by technology

In addition, the provision of a freely movable bracket part produces substantial surface area contact between it and the post upon tightening of the bracket.

Embodiment Construction

FIG. 1 shows a section of fence generally indicated at 1. This section of fence comprises upright fence posts 5 supporting cross-beams 7 of the fence. The bottom ends of the fence posts 5 are secured to the ground beneath the fence by means of fence post holders generally indicated at 3.

FIG. 2 of the drawings shows that fence post holder 3 comprises a lower spike portion 6 embedded into the ground. An upper bracket portion 9 is secured at its base 11 to spike portion 3.

The bracket portion further includes a first L-shaped bracket member 13 secured directly to the base of the bracket portion. This bracket member has a first panel 15 and a second panel 17. Panel 17 is provided with a pair of openings 18.

The bracket portion further includes a second L-shaped bracket member 19 formed by a first panel 21 and a second panel 25 at right angles to the first panel. Panel 21 is hingedly secured at 23 to panel 15 of the first bracket member.

The second bracket member further includes a flange 2...

Abstract

A post holder is formed by a post receiving bracket fitted to a spike which embeds into a ground supporting surface. The bracket, which is located above ground level, has a base part secured to the spike, a first bracket part which is fixedly attached to the base part and a second bracket part free of the base part and adjustably secured at spaced apart locations to the first bracket part.

Description

The present invention relates, in general, to a post holder having a ground embedding spike and an upper bracket for receiving the base of a post. In particular, the present invention relates to an adjustable bracket on a post holder of the type described immediately above.In the past, the standard method of putting up a fence is to first mount the fence posts by embedding the base of the posts in concrete supports dug into the ground.Recently fence posts mounts which spike into the ground have been made available eliminating the requirement for underground cement supports. These spikes include brackets which sit above ground level for receiving the bottom ends of the fence posts.The known spike bracket, which has a metallic construction, is pre-shaped to generally match with the configuration of the fence post, e.g. a rectangular bracket for receiving a rectangular fence post. Again, the known bracket has a one piece construction open along one side for opening and closing the brac...
